    Modern air wins, absolutely no question. Look at the gulf war. Baghdad, a HIGHLY defended city with an insanely sophisticated AA network got smashed to rubble and their air force destroyed and routed because the US got the leash taken off for a minute.

    Air dominance wins fights period. As long as those WWII boys have radios and maps, they just sit back and watch the fireworks.

      Infantry exists to paint targets for people with real guns

          What exactly does “take a city” mean? If you’re not too squeamish then you’ll find you don’t need infantry, just a few MIRVs.
